I probably sounded a bit "negative" in my response. Sorry about that. It's just hit me recently that some folks have been having big-time problems that didn't always make sense. Then, after a bit of digging, we find out the cause. I installed XP Service Pack 2, had absolutely no troubles or need to fiddle with it. There is a level of expertise that I am comfortable with. I rarely touch the Registry. I did go into Services and disable some stuff that others recommended be disabled. But I was very, very cautious. I'm very glad you're able to enjoy Poser once again.
